YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION

By Joe Gerrard A YOUNG woman who lost her limbs to septicaemia last year is due to be made an honorary citizen of Marbella this Saturday.

Sarah Almagro Vallejo has been put forward for the honour along with 15 other local people.

The status is in recognition of their contribution to local life, according to Mayor Angeles Muñoz.

Muñoz said: “Sarah’s ability to face personal challenges and the changes in fortune in her life are praiseworthy. It is an example of courage.”

Sarah’s mother wrote on Facebook on Sunday: ‘Sarah is stronger, her defences are better and luckily she hasn’t contracted another infection.’

Her limbs had to be amputated and she spent 10 days in a coma and has since undergone several more operations.

Sarah’s illness spawned a fundraising drive which saw the local Spanish community and expatriates come together to raise money for prosthesis operations.

The fundraising drive, dubbed Palente con Sarah (Forward with Sarah), has seen local sports teams, companies and volunteers hold several events in her aid.

The Somos Tu Ola (We Are Your Wave) initiative was also launched after Sarah’s illness which is due to help people who contract septicaemia and their families.

The name is a nod to surfing, Sarah’s favourite sport.

Closure protests

by Joe Gerrard MEMBERS of trade unions protested against Junta de Andalucia plans to close a centre that looks after unaccompanied migrant children.

Activists with the CCOO and UGT unions demonstrated outside Algeciras City Hall and called for the Our Lady of Charity centre to be reopened. It employs about 55 workers and has looked after 785 unaccompanied children so far this year.

They have also demanded renovations to improve conditions for children staying there.

The Junta announced the centre’s closure ear-

Rich with history THIS picture of a fairytale-like castle comes from Castilla y Leon which celebrated its annual regional holiday yesterday (Wednesday).

The Alcazar de Segovia (Sergovia Fortress in English) lies in the province of the same name in Castilla y Leon.

Castilla y Leon became one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities in 1983. It is made up of the historical Kingdoms of Leon and part of Castilla which both existed before Spain was unified after the Reconquista in the Medieval era.

The region is made up of nine provinces, home to almost 2,337,520 people, according to census data.

It covers an area of 94,223 squarekilometres, making it the largest region in Spain and the third biggest in Europe.

Castila y Leon has no official capital, but most of its administrative agencies are based in Valladolid City.

The region started to form when the Kingdom of Asturias, a Christian stronghold in an otherwise Muslim Spain, began pushing south.

They reached the area which is

The region has witnessed some of Spain’s key historical events including the summoning of the Cortes of Leon, Europe’s first parliamentary body, in 1188 by King Alfonso IX. The Medieval Spanish knight Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (otherwise known as El Cid) was from Vivar in Burgos Province.

CSIF Andalucia claimed one guard was bitten on the hand and another was kicked in the mouth. Both were treated in hospital. The union said prisons including Archidona were short-staffed, making it harder for guards and staff to monitor inmates.

Project call THE head of the Diputacion de Malaga has said the province’s capital needs a new concert venue and hotel to help boost its cultural and economic standing.

Provincial authority President Francisco Salado said officials should listen to Malaga City mayor Francisco de la Torre who lobbied for the projects.

Driver stops suicide

By Johanna Rebuffo LOCAL POLICE were called out in Marbella after a taxi driver stopped a teenage girl believed to have escaped from Marbella’s Costa del Sol Hospital from committing suicide.

Taxi driver Miguel Angel told Spanish media he and another were waiting for customers in the Los Monteros area when they heard the sound of a girl screaming.

The girl, aged about 16 or 17 according

to the driver, was dressed in hospital robes and sat on the edge of a bridge crying.

“I spoke to her and told her not to throw herself away and to calm down,” Angel said. The other driver had called the police and officers arrived as Angel was consoling the girl. Her family was also informed and the teenager returned to the hospital.

The family told police the girl had been a victim of bullying in her school.

Police have not confirmed the claim and inquiries into the incident remain open.

CAMERA STUDY: Council officials are looking into installing surveillance systems in tourism areas.

Surveillance plan BENALMADENA’S council has announced plans to install a new video surveillance system in areas of the town popular with tourists to curb crime.

Benalmadena mayor Victor Navas said officials decided to look into fitting the cameras following a special media of the Local Safety Board.

The council said in a state-

ment the system would use the latest surveillance technology designed to identify those responsible for crimes once they have been committed.

The decision to look into installing the system came on the back of public demand, officials added.

Cameras would be installed in areas such as the Plaza

Solymar and the town’s marina if plans are approved.

A public consultation with locals and businesspeople is due to take place to test the popularity of the idea and persuade the public to back it.

A commission of Local and National Police officers is due to study the proposals to see if they are feasible before they are formally approved.

THE General Directorate of Public Health has proposed a new scheme to ban smoking from several beaches in the Balearic Islands.

All coastal town halls belonging to the island have been requested to voluntarily introduce smoke-free beaches in a bid to reduce the consumption of cigarettes and promote healthy habits.

The only beach which has a smoking ban in the Balearics is Santa Eularia.

“It is a programme to invite the municipalities who want to do it voluntarily to convert their beaches, some of them or a part of their beaches in spaces where smoking is prohibited,” said Maria Ramos, head of the directorate.

According to Spanish press, a meeting was set to take place after the Easter holidays in which the town halls will be presented with materials such as flyers, brochures and badges to try and launch the initiative.

Mopping up continues after Easter floods

By Karl Smallman SPAIN’S Costas are slowly clearing the mess which was left behind after some of the highest rainfall ever recorded devastated holiday hotspots over the Easter weekend.

Almost 400 people had to be evacuated from their homes as torrential rain lashed the east coast, particularly hitting the British favourites of Benidorm and Torrevieja hard.

Late on Sunday night the AEMET state Met Office

weather alerts for Benidorm on the Costa Blanca were suddenly upgraded to the highest severe threat ‘red’ level.

Roads became rivers leaving some vehicles fully submerged and emergency services were kept busy dealing with flooded basements and fallen trees.

Some of the highest recorded amounts of rain fell in Javea on the Costa Blanca North, which saw the highest rainfall of up to 250 l/m2 of precipitation accumulated in 24 hours - only beaten by the historical floods which

took place in Javea/Xabia between October 1 to 3 in 1957.

Around 300 people in the town were taken to safety while in Denia a further 70 were evacuated to the car park of the town’s hospital. As well as the heavy rain the area was battered by strong winds with gusts up to 100km/h and high coastal waters with three-metre waves.

The unseasonal weather led to the cancellation of many of the huge Semana Santa processions which usually attract thousands of visitors every year.

ETA appeal denied AN appeal by former ETA terrorist Kepa Pikabea Ugalde has been thrown out by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

He was asking that the 10 years he spent in a French prison be deducted from the 30-year term imposed on him in Spain for three counts of murder.

The ECHR decided the time served in France should not be taken into account as the sentence was imposed for belonging to a terrorist group.

This was a different offence for which he was jailed in Spain; specifically the three murders.

The Strasbourg court recognised that in Spain the maximum term possible is 30 years and decided that this should not be reduced on the basis of time served for a separate offence in another EU country.

Pikabea, 63, was arrested in France in 1994 and is now serving his Spanish sentence at Martutene Prison in San Sebastian. On March 29, he

Pikabea Ugalde joined ETA in 1980. In that year alone, he participated in five terrorist

attacks which resulted in the deaths of eight Guardia Civil and five National Police officers.

In May 1982, he joined a new command and took part in

various deadly attacks. Then in 1991 he took part in more attacks which ended with the murder of several Guardia Civil, policemen and a private individual.

BREXIT BRIEF

Holiday push SPAIN’S regions have launched advertising campaigns in Britain to draw in tourists from the country and combat the expected fallout from Brexit.

Cataluña is the latest region to launch a campaign aimed at British travellers. Its Legends of Cataluña publicity drive, backed by €1 million in regional funding, is set to begin in London and Manchester on Sunday May 26.

It comes as provinces including Malaga and Cadiz set out their stalls at the World Travel Market in London earlier this year. The former is looking to hold as many British tourists as possible on the Costa del Sol. Spain’s national tourist board has also launched a series of events designed to address the concerns of companies in the sector as Brexit approaches.

It comes as the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT) predicted Spain could have lost up to three million tourists, had Brexit gone ahead on Friday April 12.

Concerns have eased since Britain and the EU27 agreed to delay Brexit until Thursday October 31. Industry data from the Costa Blanca showed bookings from British travellers increased by 12 per cent this April compared to last year.

But the legal groundwork has been laid after Parliament was obliged to pass a ‘day of poll order’ mechanism earlier this month in light of ongoing uncertainty over Britain’s withdrawal.

Murcia ‘one of the best’ BUS search engine, CheckMyBus, has published a study revealing the top places to live and work in Spain. Many aspects were considered, including housing, pollution, crime and public transport.

And while Madrid and Barcelona topped the league for highest salaries and lowest unemployment, they are also considered the most expensive cities in Spain, with the

lowest air quality.

But, with their combination of high living standards and low cost of living, Murcia, Tarragona and Girona are considered the three best cities to live and work in the country.

Teruel came out the safest city and Ceuta the least contaminated. Malaga was one of the top for being connected by bus.

EULEN SEGURIDAD: Will be in charge of incidents in cybersecurity in Spain.

Cybersecurity hirings SPAIN’S Interior Ministry is set to take on 12 experts in cybersecurity to make up for shortfalls in the National Police and Guardia Civil.

The ministry has awarded a €386,000 contract to Eulen Seguridad SA to begin monitoring incidents related to cybersecurity.

It comes as data from Spain’s National Intel-

ligence Centre’s (CNI) National Cryptological Centre showed staff there handled almost 32,300 incidents in the first 10 months of 2018.

That is 6,000 more than for the whole of 2017, with almost 3 per cent classed as ‘dangerous’ or ‘critical’ incidents.

Mother defends jihadi son THE mother of suspected jihadi Zouahir al Bouhdidi, remanded in Morocco, wants him returned to Spain.

Al Bouhdidi (23) whose father is imam of a Sevilla mosque, was allegedly planning a Holy Week attack in the city.

His mother Aisha argued that if he was planning to commit a crime in Spain, he should be tried here.

Earlier, the National Police have entered her home in the

Su Eminencia district, taking away computer items and documentation.

Investigators are confident Al Bouhdidi was gathering information prior to carrying out an attack although this had not yet been fully planned and no explosives were found during the search.

Aisha initially told the Spanish media that she, her younger daughter 14-year-old Aya and Al Bouhdidi, visited Morocco to visit her mother,

who was ill, returning on April 9.

“But Zouahir stayed behind to look after her,” she said, before amending her statement shortly afterwards.

“I was nervous because of the police search,” Aisha claimed, explaining that her son flew to Casablanca on April 9 on an eight-day excursion arranged by Sevilla University.

“My son is innocent,” she insisted.

Spanish vets help Lebanon peacekeepers A GROUP of Spanish volunteer vets visit Lebanon each year to treat livestock.

Very often this is the only care that the animals receive, revealed Pedro Lorenzo, dean of Madrid University’s School of Veterinary Medicine.

The animals are vitally important as they are often the main source of income and food for many families in the Blat area where Miguel de Cervantes military base is located, he said.

The mission began 10 years ago, explained Librado Carrasco, a former dean at Cordoba Uni-

versity when soldiers from that province were assigned to Spain’s Lebanon peacekeeping mission.

“They invited faculty members to look at the facilities and the country, asking if we could do something to strengthen ties with the local people,” he said.

Since then, the project has continued to grow, with veterinary specialists from Valencia, Sevilla, Murcia, Caceres, Zaragoza and Barcelona joining the scheme in the past few years.

DRUGS CASE: Taking place in a Girona court.

‘Personal use’ TWO defendants found with four kilos of marihuana at home have been acquitted of drug trafficking after a judge concluded the drugs were for ‘family consumption.’

The court in Girona said it had not been proven

the 4.3 kilos of marihuana had been grown to sell.

A judge also said he believed police had behav-de with “racial bias” in searching the house after seeing “a person of colour waiting in front of a house with a normal attitude.”

Beaten to death A POST-MORTEM examination has revealed that Dutch filmmaker Wouter van Luijn, 34, suffered a brain injury before he was beaten to death while being robbed of €700.

The incident happened in the early hours of July 13, 2018, but details are only coming to light now a court investigation

is progressing.

The main suspect in the crime, Adrian H F, 19, said in his court statement that he only pushed and slapped Mr van Luijn.

At the time he told investigators that he had gone to the victim’s rescue when he saw Mr van Lujin being beaten by five teenagers in Son Banya.

He then took him to Son Espases hospital, where the victim died of a brain haemorrhage. Police were not convinced by the tale and arrested the suspect the next day.

Adrián H F has named four young people as being involved, but he is the only one being held in custody.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS

By Joe Gerrard SPANISH politicians and voters are not the only ones hoping that this Sunday’s election will end 10 months of political deadlock.

Sources close to top EU officials have reportedly said they are hoping that a stable government with a clear parliamentary majority will take charge after the ballot.

‘Spanish politics cannot continue to stumble along,’ the sources were quoted in Spanish media as saying.

The comments come in reference to the failure of the ruling left leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) to pass its draft budget for this year. This was the factor which led Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to call the snap election in March.

They also follow years of political uncertainty which began in 2015. An election in December last year saw thenruling conservative Partido Popular’s (PP) absolute majority wiped out, with the party going from 187 seats to

Stability hopes

UNCERTAIN: Deadlock has plagued Spanish politics since 2015.

123. The election was also novel because it saw the entry of the centrist Ciudadanos and the leftist Podemos into the Congress of Deputies lower house for the first time. Both took seats from the PP and PSOE, upending what had largely been a two-party system up to that time.

Efforts began to cobble together coalitions on both the

left and the right. But neither side could muster the necessary support to command a majority in the Congress of Deputies, leading to another election the following year.

Little change came from the 2016 vote which saw the PP claw back a handful of seats to reach a total of 137 deputies, still far short of a majority. The PP had called

for stability at the time in the face of what they branded as a rise of radicalism and populism.

The two elections took place against a backdrop of economic instability unleashed by the last recession and corruption scandals which benefitted the insurgent Ciudadanos and Podemos. The 2016 election also took place in the wake of the Brexit referendum, closely watched in Spain and elsewhere in Europe.

Now in 2019, the spectre of uncertainty continues to haunt Spanish politics. A new party, far-right Vox, looks set to enter Congress after exploiting anti-migrant feelings which will complicate efforts to build coalitions and a parliamentary majority further.

The jury is still out on whether stability will return to Spanish politics.

Election day VOTERS in Spain go to the polls this Sunday to cast their ballots for the snap general election.

The election was called at the start of March after the ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) effectively had its budget plans vetoed by pro-Catalan independence parties. That left Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez no choice but to go to the polls.

Campaigning is now reaching its pre-election climax, with party leaders having criss-crossed the country to try and win over undecided voters.

That will come to an end at midnight on Friday, after which Spanish law prohibits campaigning until voters go to the polls.

Polling stations open at 9am and close at 8pm. After they close their doors the provisional counting of results will begin.

The general counting of votes begins on Wednesday after ballot papers arrive from abroad. The deadline for the count to finish is Saturday May 4.

There is likely to be some indication of who will win the election after the provisional votes are counted, but the official results will be declared no later than Monday May 13.

The new members of the Congreso are then set to meet on Tuesday May 21.

With the results looking close, it is unclear how long it will take for parties to reach coalition deals.

Poll tracker: Due to Spanish electoral law, we cannot publish the results of polls this week. The poll tracker will return next week with forecasts for May’s elections.

Driving licences in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

If you are planning on living in Spain on a permanent basis, it’s a good idea to have a Spanish driving licence - in fact it is mandatory after a while. Here are some guidelines for current and new drivers on how to do this quickly and easily.

If you already have a valid EU (European Union) Community or an EEA (European Economic Area) driving licence and meet the minimum driving age in Spain, you can use it for the first two years of residence in Spain, although you must register your details with the traffic authorities after six months.

You can register at your Central Register of Drivers and Minor Offenders of the Provincial Traffic Headquarters.

If you don’t obtain a Spanish driver’s licence after two years of residence in Spain and are caught driving, you can face a fine of around €200. Visit: www.dgt.es to find out more.

Once the process is under way, you will have to adhere to the same conditions as Spanish licence holders: Have reached minimum age in Spain for the specific category of vehicle you want to drive, Relevant medical checks, Renew or exchange the licence after the first two years’ residence in Spain.

If an EU licence is renewed in Spain it effectively converts it into a Spanish EU licence, which then needs to be renewed every 10 years up to the age of 65, and every five years after 65.

The new regulation which requires new residents to exchange their licences for a Spanish one, was enforced three years ago. As such, Spain has agreements with more than 20 countries, allowing drivers to exchange a foreign driver’s licence for its equivalent. To find out more, check with your home country’s consulate in Spain or the Spanish Traffic Authority at www.sede.dgt.gob.es.

To exchange your licence, you will need to fill out an application form that is issued by the Provincial Traffic Headquarters. (See the above website). The following documents will be required: Proof of identity (original passport and a copy), Proof of your residence for six months (Certificate of Registration in the Central Aliens Register - the NIE number), Application form (in Spanish), Current valid driving licence to be exchanged (original and a copy), Written declaration stating that you don’t have another driving licence of the same class in another country, Written declaration stating that you have not been suspended or banned, Two recent passport size photographs (32 by 25 mm), Medical fitness report (visit the DGT website for information).

For new drivers, check the legal driving ages and permit types before you register. You can get details depending on what type of vehicle you want to drive by visiting: English-driving-school.com.

The best option (for new drivers) is to go to a driving school as they take care of the registration process with the Jefatura (Jefatura Provincial de Trafico) on your behalf. Once you have registered, get your medical and vision test done, too.

Theory tests can be done in a classroom or be computer based. The written test is normally taken in Spanish, but some places offer it in English. For more information, visit http://www.autoescuelacorsa.com.

This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

ANCESTRY CLAIMS: The people who built Stonehenge could have come from Spain.

Sing it in Spanish TWO years after Luis Fonsi’s Despacito, Spanish-language hits have cemented their place in mainstream music.

They have moved beyond one-off smashes and infiltrated charts worldwide, headlining festivals instead of appearing as guests or relegated to lesser stages.

There were an unprecedented number of Latin hits at this year’s Coachella festival in California, an unmistakeable sign of their growing influence in the US where Spanish is the mother-tongue of 41 million people.

“It took 15 years for reggaeton to get to Coachella. We are here!” shouted Colombian J Balvin as he took to the main stage. The 33-year-old boundarypusher will also headline Chicago’s Lollapalooza festival, becoming the first Spanish-language acts to sing one of the coveted spots.

By Joe Gerrard THE people who came to inhabit Britain and build Stonehenge reached the country about 6,000 years ago after first travelling through Spain, a study of DNA evidence has claimed.

The study, published in the journal Nature, showed DNA matches between people who settled in Britain in around 4,000 BC and those in the Iberian Peninsula at the same time. “We found overwhelming evidence to sup-

port the claim that agriculture was introduced to Britain by incoming continental farmers,” the authors of the study said.

“Genetic affinities with Iberian Neolithic individuals indicate British Neolithic people were mostly descended from Aegean farmers who followed the Mediterranean route of dispersal,” they added. The authors of the study said those who settled in Briton, known as Neolithic peoples, likely began their journey into Europe from

what is now Turkey in about 6,000 BC. They settled in what is now Spain and Portugal before crossing to France and entering the British Isles through Wales and the south of England. It found the new arrivals did not mix with existing hunter-gatherer communities, known as Mesolithic people.

The Mesolithic era was the final era of hunter-gathering before humans settled in farming communities during the Neolithic Revolution.

Sri Lanka attack

CONDEMNED: The attack killed at least 290.

SPANISH government officials have sent their condolences to the victims of a terror attack on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he strongly condemned the attacks, which killed at least 290 people and injured at least 500 in several bombings at churches and hotels.

“Dozens of victims who were celebrating the Passover of Resurrection give us cause to mourn. We

will never bend to terror and barbarism,” Sanchez said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings. Sri Lankan Defence Minister Ruwan Wijewardene said religious extremists were behind the attacks and others have claimed they were Islamic fundamentalists.

The Spanish Embassy in neighbouring India advised its citizens to take ‘extreme precautions’ following the attack and advised them to

follow the instructions of local authorities. Three churches and three five-star hotels were bombed on Easter Sunday. The hotels and one of the churches, St Anthony’s Shrine, were in the capital Colombo and the other two were in Negombo.

At least eight British nationals were among those who died.

The bombings marked the bloodiest days for Sri Lanka since the end of its civil war in 2009.

Health Minister Maria Luisa Carcedo said an estimated two million people would have the illness by 2050.

Alzheimer ’s is expected to rise due to people living longer on average, with the onset of the illness typically coming in old age.

The plan aims to improve responses to Alzheimer’s in Spain’s health system by studying what will be required to adequately treat those with the condition. It also seeks to improve the situation for family carers.

FALLING: The amount budgeted for cathedrals has dropped.

Cathedral funding cut FUNDING to restore and repair cathedrals in Spain has fallen by more than 90 per cent in the last 10 years, according to the country’s heritage agency.

The deputy director of the Institute of Spanish Heritage of Culture (IPCE) said funding had fallen from €18.3 million to €1.6 million.

“Cathedrals require constant attention. We have to go back to €18 million in funding for stable maintenance,” Rivera said.

The deputy director added funding was ‘very little,’ and that funding had fallen drastically in recent

years. “National plans have no budget. It is a mistake which should be corrected urgently,” Rivera said.

The IPCE repairs about 40 cathedrals a year on average. The agency has maintained the holy buildings since 1990 when it struck an agreement with the Catholic Church to oversee renovations and repairs.

Javier Rivera’s figures follow a fire which tore through Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral, destroying its roof and spire and causing millions of euros worth of damage.

New Geopark A MOUNTAIN range in Galicia has been chosen as one of 11 natural areas globally which will be designated as a World Geopark by the UN. UNESCO chose the Serro de Courel, in Lugo Province, among others including from Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Norway and China to have the status.

UNESCO said the Courel range was home to ‘remarkable’ evidence of ancient gold mining by the Romans which reflected the relationship between humans and nature.

There is currently a total of 147 UNESCO World Geoparks across the globe.

Wildfire fatalities NEW figures have revealed 865 people died in wildfires in southern Europe between 1945 and 2016.

The statistics, released by Wildfire Today, analysed the number of civilian and firefighter deaths in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Sardinia.

The report showed Sardinia had the highest proportion of wildfire-related deaths, based on its population of 10.1 million. Leading causes of death were suffocation, burns, heart attacks, respiratory problems, physical trauma, and exhaustion.

Another leading cause of death was aviation accidents involving firefighting planes.

In Spain, 72 out of the total 96 fatalities were among crews on firefighting aircraft.

Poet honoured URUGUAYAN poet Ida Vitale has been in Spain to be awarded the Miguel de Cervantes 2018 Prize for Literature in the Spanish Language. She was presented the prize by King Felipe VI on Tuesday at a ceremony in Alcala de Henares. Yesterday (Wednesday) she attended a lunch with the King and Queen at the Royal Palace in Madrid.

NEW REPORT: Costs the Spanish economy as much as €8.5 billion.

Gender violence

by Joe Gerrard THE economic cost of sexist violence against women in Spain is estimated to be as high as €185 per person, according to a new government report.

The government’s Impact of Gender Violence report estimated the cost as a percentage of economic output (Gross Domestic ProductGDP) was at least 0.11 per cent.

Estimates range as high as 0.76 per cent, according to

the study which used data from 2016, the most recent available. The total cost to the Spanish economy in cash terms was estimated to be between almost €1.3 billion and more than €8.5 billion.

The report calculated the costs based on the estimated losses incurred by women who suffer from sexist attacks being unemployed or off work. It also factored in the cost to the Spanish health system and to police and courts.

Those factors are referred to in the report as tangible costs, those which can be measured. Intangible costs such as the psychological impact gender violence has on women’s children and relatives could be between almost €4.9 billion and more than €14.8 billion, according to the report.

The authors of the report state their findings could be limited by the quality of the statistics available meaning the costs could be much higher.

Pollution sources THE plants of 10 Spanish companies produce a quarter of the country’s total emissions, according to a new study.

The Observatory for Sustainability’s study of about 1,200 industrial firms found six of those 10 plants burnt coal. A further three are refineries and one is a steel foundry.

Cement, glass and tile factories, as well as paper and cardboard mills, were also among leading pollutants.

The study found that together the plants reduced emissions by 6.3 per cent last year compared to 2017. But those from steel mills and cement manufacturers rose by 5 per cent and 2.6 percent.

SMOKE: Produced by a polluting industry in Saragossa, Aragon.

Government Culture Minister Jose Guirao said: “Obviously (the Notre-Dame fire) was an alarm bell and we will

review all the installations.

“The danger is with old electric installations which have to be surveyed, but that in general, the installations in our big monuments are safe.”

Spain has 47 UNESCO World Heritage sites of which 41 are cultural, four are natural and two are mixed.

The first sites listed in Spain were the Mosque of Cordoba,

FREEDOM: Spain saw its ranking increase this year.

Press freedom

By Joe Gerrard SPAIN has ranked 29th on a table of the countries with the most press freedom, up two places compared to last year.

Reporters Without Borders’ (RSF) World Press Freedom Ranking scored 180 countries for the table.

RSF said there had been a ‘clear improvement’ to the situation in Cataluña although it remains a hostile environment for radio and television reporters.

RSF said there were around 40 verbal and physical attacks on journalists in the region over the last 18 months.

The organisation said reforms to Spain’s RTVE public broadcaster in 2017 to shield it from government interference was good news.

But RSF added that hatred for journalists existed in Spain as it did in other Western democracies.

Spain came behind Cyprus and ahead of Lithuania in the table. Norway, Finland and Sweden came first, second and third respectively while Germany came 13th and Britain came 33rd.

RSF awarded countries zero to 100 points based on the representation of differing opinions, media independence, the environment for journalists, the legal framework, transparency, support infrastructure and abuses.

Puigdemont election snag

By Joe Gerrard CATALUÑA’S former president, a fugitive from Spanish justice and now European Parliament candidate would have to return to Spain to enjoy legal immunity if elected, its justice minister said.

Dolores Delgado said Carles Puigdemont’s presence at Madrid’s Central Election Board would be required if he wins a seat in the European Parliament after May’s vote. The former president remains in Belgium and is subject to a Spanish arrest warrant after leaving the country following the 2017 Catalan independence push.

“The European Parliament should be responsible for pointing out the conditions to guarantee legal immunity,” Delgado said. A report from the European Parliament also stated Puigde-

SETTING SAIL: The Open Arms was moored in Barcelona for 100 days.

Permission to sail

By Joe Gerrard

SLIGHT HITCH: Puigdemont would have to return to Spain for legal immunity. mont would have to travel to Spain to comply with the Spanish Constitution’s rules for candidates and electoral law.

A European Warrant for Puigdemont’s arrest was dropped last year, but a Spanish

warrant remains active, meaning he would likely be arrested if he set foot in the country.

The former president is top of the pro-independence Junts per Cataluyna’s party list for the European elections, set for May 26.

SPANISH maritime authorities have granted the Open Arms rescue boat permission to leave harbour and take supplies to refugees in the Eastern Mediterranean after 100 days spent in Barcelona.

Officials have given the boat permission to sail to the Greek islands of Lesbos and Samos to deliver humanitarian aid to refugees in camps there.

It comes after authorities prevented it from leaving, accusing the Proactiva Open Arms NGO which runs the boat of failing to comply with international agreements and docking rules.

Proactiva Open Arms founder Oscar Camps said volunteers had been denied the chance to do something to help migrants and refugees stranded in the Mediterranean while it remained docked.

Camps previously called on Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez to stop blocking the boat and to live up to his rhetoric about migration being a common challenge for Europe.

The boat was due to leave the port on Friday.

The Open Arms has been active in rescuing migrants stranded in the Mediterranean for about four years and is estimated to have saved hundreds of lives.

Prostitution ban backing SPAIN’S ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) has said it will ban prostitution if it wins Sunday’s snap general election.

Party sources told Spanish media they would update their manifesto to including proposals for a ban.

‘Prostitution, which we aim to abolish, is one of the cruellest aspects of the feminisation of poverty and one of the worst forms of violence against

women,’ the updated document is set to say. It comes as the party has framed its election offering as a progressive, moderate alternative to the social conservatism offered by parties on the right.

It also follows previous pledges from PSOE to outlaw prostitution. Plans drawn up in December would have treated sex workers as victims and led to brothels being shut down if they had passed.

Pro-prostitution groups including the OTRAS sex workers’ union opposed the plans, claiming they restricted women’s choice and would make it harder to protect those in the industry.

Spain’s sex work industry is estimated to be worth around €3.7 billion. Experts estimate around 13,000 women work in the industry and that 80 per cent work against their own will or are exploited.

Don Quixote route

by Joe Gerrard FOUR towns in Castilla-La Mancha have launched a route through some of the most famous locations mentioned in one of Spain’s bestloved works of fiction.

Alcazar de San Juan, Argamasilla de Alba, Campo de Criptana and El Toboso have come together to create the Country of the Quixote route.

It takes travellers on a journey through some of the areas referenced in Miguel de Cervantes’ work Don Quixote, considered one of the great works of Spanish literature. It also includes locations that were key in the life of its author.

Alcazar de San Juan, in Ciudad Real Province, is said to have been the birthplace of Cervantes. It is home to the Santa Maria la Mayor which houses Cervantes’ baptism certificate.

LITERARY TOUR: The windmills of Campo de Criptana inspired scenes in Don Quixote.

The Medrano Cave, where Cervantas began writing the first chapters of the novel while he was imprisoned, lies in Argamasilla de Alba which is also in Ciudad Real.

Another town in that province, Campo de Criptana, is home to windmills which inspired one of the most famous scenes in Don Quixote.

The self-styled knight errant mistakes them for giants, charges at them with his lance and is flung into the air by their sails.

In Toledo Province lies the town of El Toboso. It is the hometown of Don Quixote’s lover Dulcinea and now features a museum in her honour housed in part in a 16th century building.

A MOTHER and her two children died when fire swept through their L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) apartment.

Her son aged three died with her in the fire, but although firemen evacuated her daughter of six months, the child died hours later in hospital.

Two other occupants of the apartment, the children’s grandmother and aunt, survived the fire with minor injuries, emergency service sources revealed later.

Initial investigations suggest that the fire was caused by a power overload, with too many appliances plugged into an adapter, the Mossos d’Esquadra - Cataluña’s regional police - disclosed afterwards.

A spokesman for the police also stressed that there was no evidence that the family were ‘energy poor.’

There was no illegal electricity connection and the family were not squatters, clarified L’Hospitalet’s deputy mayor Frances Belver. “The family had a rent contract and a regular power supply,” he said.

Firemen explained afterwards that the apartment on the fourth floor of a block of six was full of highly inflammable material, including furniture and mattresses.

“This was a violent fire which burned rapidly,” L’Hospitalet’s deputy Frances Belver added.

Mexico renews apology call THE president of Mexico has once again called on Spain to apologise for its colonial legacy in his country, saying it is necessary.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a video posted to social media that how Spain’s conquest of Mexico in the 16th century is seen is a ‘pending issue.’

“This is the debate: how do we commemorate the conquest, the invasion or should it be seen as the meeting between two worlds,” the president said.

“We all owe an explanation to native people because there were abuses,” Lopez Obrador added.

The president added Spain’s conquest of Mexico had been undertaken with ‘the sword and the cross’ and that churches were built over pre-Hispanic temples.

It comes as Lopez Obrador wrote to King Felipe in March calling for an apology for Spain’s conquest of Mexico. The Spanish has said King Felipe will not apologise.

The country marks 500 years since the first Spanish settlement was founded there this year.

Criminal thoughts T H E a v e r a g e c a re e r c r i m i n a l i n S p a i n t a k e s c a re t o o b s e r v e a n d prepare before striking, avoiding using violence, according to a study by the company Techco Security.

Most break-ins happen between midnight and 4am, with half of this sort of crime committed at weekends when businesses are closed and families away.

By Joe Gerrard RECORDINGS of two British volunteers who travelled to Spain to fight fascism during the country’s civil war are set to be heard in public for the first time.

The recordings were made in the 1980’s and featuring both men talking about the reasons why they travelled to fight in the conflict and about their experiences.

Dunlop said he had joined the Communist Par-

ty after taking an interest in politics and began reading about the Spanish Civil War. “It seemed to me that in Spain, great injustice was being perpetrated on the people of Spain.

“I was also disgusted by the fact other democratic governments in Europe were not doing anything to help the legal government of Spain,” Dunlop said. Drever can be heard talking about being in Valladolid City where he carried a casualty to hospital in what he said was a ‘very strange’ experience. “Some of the Spaniards of course said: ‘You’re an extanjero (foreigner), si?

Before joining the strike group, the Mendez Nuñez had to undergo an intense assessment and certification process, taking part in several integration exercises with the Carrier Strike Group on the East Coast in January and February.

The frigate will accompany the Abraham Lincoln for seven months in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, South China Sea and the Pacific before returning to the US naval base in San Diego (California).

Tax Agency’s firm warning

Bubble fears rule plan OFFICIALS with Spain’s Ecology Ministry have drawn up plans to tighten regulations on the renewable energy market amidst fears excessive demand could fuel a speculative bubble.

Figures from Red Electrica de España (REE), which is in charge of managing and granting renewable energy access permits, shows current applications amount to more than 144,400 megawatts of power.

Ministry forecasts under its Energy and Climate plan predicted the amount would be 67,500 megawatts.

Concerns over a potential bubble previously led the Ministry to increase the guar-

By Joe Gerrard antee fee for companies wanting to request an electrical installation permit from €10 to €40 per kilowatt. It was hoped this would stave off those who planned to buy the permits to sell on at a profit.

REE figures show power generated under the permit system totalled 28,400 megawatts, with permission granted for a further 45,900 and requests for 70,500.

Fears about speculation are new to the energy market. Previous permit rules coal and nuclear power plants and other installations contained no measures preventing speculation because it was thought no

company would sell such assets on at a profit. But the arrival of renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines has reduced investment costs, lowering market barriers to entry and opening it to speculation.

Officials fear if that happens, permits could become sought after solely for investment reasons, distorting the market and creating the conditions for a later crash.

Spain’s National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) watchdog would have to approve any regulation changes put forward to make sure they do not harm competition.

SPAIN’S Tax Agency has warned about politicians increasingly using corporate entities to reduce payment burdens as four government ministers were previously found to be doing so.

Christianophobia?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TOO, was shocked and saddened by the terrible devastation of Notre Dame in Paris last week. At the time of writing, no group has claimed responsibility and no blame yet been apportioned.

‘Appears to be accidental’ is a phrase being bandied about. This reaction being the usual, ‘petrified to offend anyone’ attitude which complacent European Christians seem to adopt for almost any atrocity which isn’t actually followed by a ‘we are responsible,’ sign, emblazoned in sky writing above their heads!

However, before I am once again accused of some kind of phobia or another, let me run a few facts by you. In 2016, three females, with radical ties to Islam, were arrested in a street adjacent to Notre Dame; along with a lorry containing six gas cylinders and Arabic propaganda papers. In the violence which ensued, two police officers were injured with one being stabbed in the chest.

After the incident police declared they were ‘in a race against time’ before a major terrorist attack took place.

Also in that year, a Catholic priest was murdered by ‘two soldiers’ of a group calling themselves Islamic State (ISLE). Last year, in France there were 873 reported attacks on Christian churches and 1,063 anti-Christian acts. Bearing all these facts in mind, quite frankly, if this Notre Dame disaster is put down to coincidence, then I

COINCIDENCE?: Over the last few years there have been attacks on Christian artefacts and holy shrines. truly do give up.

Just to drive my point home, as I write, reports are coming in from Sri Lanka of seven explosions, targeting six churches and hotels, which have killed nearly 300 people and injured hun-

dreds more. And all of these recent atrocities are occurring during one of the most sacred Christian periods of the year.

Here are a few more facts for the disbelieving snowflakes and ‘infidels.’ Over the last few

years, all across Europe, there have been thousands of attacks on Christian artefacts and holy shrines. This year, in March alone, four churches in Germany were vandalised or torched.

And still the silence from the authorities is deafening! Don’t take my word for this cowardly inaction. Cast an eye over a report last week on PI - News, a German news site.

I quote: ‘Hardly anyone writes about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators. Not a word or even the slightest hint which could in any way lead to the suspicion of immigrants. It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracised, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are instead, accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.’

Unquote.

Well, be that as it may, I am utterly convinced that unless the authorities get some bottle and at least publically recognise the problems of increasing ‘Christianophobia,’ some form of rightwing ‘tit for tat’ will begin to occur.

And then we will surely need heaven to help us all.

School Talk ONE of the great benefits for students who receive an international education is the exposure they gain to many different cultures and the opportunities for additional language acquisition.

Universities and employers all recognise the additional possibilities students have if they speak more than one language. As a British School in Spain it is wonderful to be able to offer all pupils this great skill.

However, our understanding of the positive impacts of learning additional languages has changed enormously over time. As recently as the 1920s there was a common academic acceptance that polyglots were limiting their academic potential. It was believed students who learned more than one language would never attain the same standard as they would have if they had just focused on one language.

This has most certainly not been my experience of working within a multilingual environment and I have always been impressed by the mental agility our students gain from developing their fluency in two or more languages; it is as though the brain is ‘rewired.’

As students move seamlessly from one language to the other and back again, their information processing

The benefits of multilingualism in an international learning environment

By Amanda Hughes, Principal at Laude San Pedro International College

A ‘GOOD STRUGGLE’: A second language can be a positive challenge for children.

skills are improved and speed up.

This neuroplasticity is known as enhanced attentional control and it has positive impact upon both concentration and memory. These abilities are then transferred to other academic subjects and they are able to acquire knowledge, skills and understanding rapidly.

It is not to say that learning a new language does not present challenges.

Students of all ages will struggle as they learn to select the right word in the right language in any given context; but this is a ‘good struggle.’

Children learn by finding their way through academic problems and accepting this is difficult to do, but not unachievable. It just takes time to solve the problem and decide what knowledge, skills or understanding are needed in each situation.

It is true that our bilingual or multilingual students benefit personally

through access to global university offers and careers without geographical barriers. However, it is important to remember that it is not just the additional languages they gain, but the empathy and understanding of other cultures and languages which give them a profound ability to appreciate and integrate into new situations and environments.

Amanda Hughes joined Laude San Pedro International College as the School Principal in September 2018. She has worked in both the public and selective system within the UK, as well as two other international private schools in Spain.

Amanda will be delighted to meet you at the School’s coming Open Mornings tomorrow (Friday) and May 10.

IT’S no secret that institutions develop their own language in the interests of time and confidentiality. Restaurant staff use various terms to describe their customers, sometimes derogatory, occasionally complimentary. So, when next in your favourite restaurant, consider how you’re maybe being described.

While lots of regular customers are referred to by what they regularly order or their idiosyncrasies (for example, ‘extra garlic,’ ‘doggie-bag lady,’ ‘lousy tipper’), ‘PIA’ is code for ‘Pain In the A*** ,’ ‘HAF’ means ‘Had A Few,’ and ‘FF’ in the reservation book against your name means you’re ‘F***ing Fussy.’ Oops!

Doctors too have their codes. While a ‘GLM’ is a ‘Good-Looking Mum,’ with ‘GLL’ (Great-Looking Legs) and an ‘FLK’ a ‘Funny-Looking Kid,’ a ‘TBP’ is a ‘Total Bloody Pain,’ a ‘GPO’ is ‘Good for Parts Only,’ and ‘TEETH’ is ‘Tried Everything Else, Try Homeopathy.’

Plus, cases which are ‘LOB’ (Load Of B*****ks) and individuals who are ‘TF Bundy’ (Totally F***ed But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet). ‘Digging for worms’ is varicose vein surgery, the ‘departure lounge’ the geriatric ward, while ‘handbag positive’ is a

confused patient (usually elderly lady) lying on a hospital bed clutching a handbag.

While the most common call-out for ambulance services is to elderly ladies who’ve fallen over (a ‘nan-down’) and the special ambulances used to transport obese patients are ‘fat trucks,’ regular visitors to A&E on Friday/Saturday nights are also classified.

‘UBI’ is an ‘Unexplained Beer Injury,’ a ‘PFO,’ a drunken patient who’s injured himself falling over, while a ‘PGT,’ ‘got thumped’ instead. One doctor in court had to explain ‘TTFO’ (Told To F*** Off). Fortunately, he came out with: ‘To Take Fluids Orally.’ Oops again!

Call centres have similar codes for techni-

cal helplines. A blatantly obvious query is categorised as an ‘RTFM on line 1,’ code for ‘Read The F***ing Manual.’ Which reminds me of a similar code used in East Anglia hospitals until fairly recently: ‘NFN,’ - ‘Normal For Norfolk.’ Finally, as for ‘B’ (Brexit) Day, anyone know when this will be? Anyone got a clue?

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Must they pay?

WITH regard to the charges levied on our group of ‘illegal’ homes to be ‘legalised,’ and your response of March 14, would the ‘bill payer’ change if the original developer was still trading and being encouraged by the town hall to deal directly with the Junta?

Also, is there a brief reason the 15-year debt limit does not apply?

PP (by email)

Unfortunately, David Searl no. The buyer of You and the Law a property buys it with all in Spain rights that go with it and also with charges outstanding. You could have obtained a Certificado Urbanistico from your town hall at the time of purchase which would have revealed this. The 15-year limit to recover debt does not apply here because your house is now part of a Sistema de Cooperación, in which the town hall pays a part of the costs and the homeowner the remainder.

Because your inclusion in this ‘co-operation system’ is recent, the time limit does not apply.

If it is any consolation, thousands of homeowners along the Spanish coasts are suffering similar charges. Even more annoying is the knowledge that the original developer has got away with not paying.

Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana and Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.

Anyone from five to 95 years old can safely enjoy the thrill of flying and as long as you’re rea-

sonably fit and healthy, age is no barrier.

Located at KartCenter Campillos in Malaga Province, Fly4Real’s outdoor simulator will be an exciting new addition to the tourist attractions in Andalucia.

To be one of the very first people to try an outdoor skydiving simulator in Spain enter their competition to win one of the first 10 flights.

Ten winners will be selected at random, and the winners will be announced on Monday and notified by email. Flights will be arranged in the opening week from May 1.

FREEFALL: An exciting and thrilling experience.

25 April - 1 May 2019

The freedom of motorhoming MOTORHOMES are becoming far more popular. In Spain we see fleets of these cumbersome large vehicles on the roads, throughout the year.

The snail-like vehicles mean you can literally take your home on the road, carrying all the luxuries and comforts of home life, without having to spend one half of your holidays putting up or taking down tents or caravan awnings; without having to unpack cases; without having to go shopping as soon as you arrive at your apartment and without having to search out restaurants that are good value and serve decent food.

Travellers can take their pets with them, they can watch their favourite television programmes, use their own toilets and bathrooms and socialise as much or as little as they want.

Motorhomes can be self-sufficient so they can park anywhere that they are allowed. It could be overlooking a tiny cove or next to an empty beach. They can be parked in a mountainous area or in idyllic countryside.

The choices are endless.

HOME ON THE ROAD: An alternative to camping and hotels.

Think before you judge Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man IGNORANCE is a very dangerous mental disorder. It makes some people say and do very strange and sometimes dangerous things.

This week, UK media ‘personality’ Katie Hopkins put on Twitter that she was at an airline gate watching ‘hundreds’ of miracles. Of course, that statement alone is nonsense. She was referring to people formerly bound to wheelchairs, suddenly gaining the ability to walk. She then went on to say ‘praise be, the miracle of why walk when there’s a wheelchair to skip the lines.’

This is a pure and utterly dangerous thing to say because this tweet caused many of her followers to agree with her. On the plus side there were many - like myself - who tried to explain to her and others that there are many disabilities which mean you have to use a wheelchair for certain parts of your journey and for other parts you can walk.

It’s no miracle, just the nature of the illness. So once again I am going to explain my particular disorder. It’s called Primary Ortho-

static Tremor. It’s one of the rarest neurological disorders in the world and there is no treatment. It means I spend a lot of time using a wheelchair. I can walk - I just can’t stop for longer than a few seconds. So I can walk my dog, but I get a tremor every time he stops to do what dogs do.

I have a particularly ignorant neighbour who, on top of his racist remarks and other insulting comments, cannot grasp this at all.

In fact, he can’t even understand that disabled people use wheelchairs not pushchairs!

I kid you not. He’s apparently going to report me to the hospital because he’s seen me walking.

This is the sort of rubbish that disabled people, who are not confined permanently to a wheelchair, have to put up with. Of course there are some people who do mess with the system, but there is a way round that.

Make people show a doctor’s letter or blue badge to airport assistance. Obviously there has to be discretion if someone has had an accident etc. The people who cheat the system are the people who park in disabled bays and then abuse you when you explain that you need the extra space to get in and out of your car with your wheelchair.

On the plus side most people are very understanding, sympathetic and helpful, and I thank you for that.

IT’S refreshingly reassuring that most Brits travel with Travel Insurance in place. According to the Association of British Travel Insurers (ABTA), in 2018, 78 per cent travelled with some level of cover, while a whopping 22 per cent still travel completely uninsured. That’s definitely senseless!

We explore why buying Travel Insurance is a no-brainer and give you the Travel Insurance essentials. You’ll be surprised how quickly your heavenly holiday could turn into a travel trauma without it.

Why buy Travel Insurance?

Did you know a medical problem overseas could spiral into eye wateringly sky high costs? ABTA reported one traveller to the US who suffered a stroke clocking up £768,000; and £81,000 for another with pancreatitis in Greece.

If you need more persuading than that, here’s why it pays to buy Travel Insurance: • You can’t rely on EHIC: If you live in the EU, the European Health Insurance Card gives EU citizens ac-

Are you smart or senseless when it comes to travel?

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Policies purchased before Brexit continue to apply. cess to medical care while travelling in the EU. EHIC covers some stateprovided treatment, but won’t cover repatriation costs, or a doctor escort.

It won’t cover luggage if it’s lost or stolen!

• Brexit effect: For anyone relying on a UK registered EHIC - if we leave the EU without a deal, then they

won’t be valid.

• Medical repatriation could cost a fortune: Perhaps over £10,000, even within Europe.

• Simple mishaps are expensive: Out-patient treatment for simple inconveniences like infected mosquito bites, or a doctors’ visit can cost over £150, while hospital treatment can

quickly run into thousands.

• Get help when you need it: Who do you turn to for recouping cancellation costs? Stolen passport, or lost luggage? Travel Insurance can help with these distressing, unforeseen events. Most policies have Emergency Assistance available 24/7 with multilingual staff and doctors to assist when you need it most.

How to choose the right cover?

Whatever your holiday habits, don’t be foolhardy by leaving home without travel insurance. UK Insurers shell out £365 million per year on claims, so you can be sure that holiday mishaps do happen.

How do you choose what’s right for you? Here are some simple essentials to help: • How often do you travel in a year? If it’s twice or more, then Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance is more cost effective. A good policy like Globelink’s lets you travel as often as you like in 12 months. Beware of annual policies which limit your total days abroad.

• Think about your holiday cost: So you’re not out of pocket if you cancel or curtail your trip. Buy insurance as soon as you pay for any part of your trip so you’re covered immediately.

• Think about baggage value: You’ll be surprised how it adds up.

Check ‘single article limits’ - this may be far less than some of your items. Check ‘total valuable limits’ your accumulated valuables may exceed this. Some items may be covered on your Home Insurance while travelling. Our advice is leave valuables at home! You could lose them and make yourself a target for theft while abroad.

• Travel companions: Do they have pre-existing medical conditions?

It’s essential you comply with any Policy Declaration requirements.

Globelink covers 50 conditions as standard.

• Activities while away? Whether it’s archery, water sports, diving, check you’re covered. You’re more at risk of injury while participating.

Globelink covers over 100 activities free.

The best things in life are free

Marbella Moments

by Nicole King EVERY year when the United Nationalities of Marbella Summit comes around, I enjoy a giggle, as I know it’s really a ‘sum it up’ event, more than a summit, which sounds far more intimidating.

The reality is quite more downto-earth; a local, community get together to network with others; at no charge as entrance is free.

Even living in paradise can pose situations we might not face otherwise - albeit due to language barriers or different backgrounds and beliefs - so communication becomes key.

We have common goals regardless of our differences which, when brainstorming, is an asset.

Through our previous events we have identified some of the main concerns of the international community: creating a communication grapevine is always top of the list as is all year-round business; collaboration between charities for example can only favour this.

Just last week I bumped into Ian

MY GRANDDAUGHTER: Fifth Generation ‘guiri’ Marbellí.

Scholes at a Debra charity event. He reminded me that we had first met at the #UNMS2016 which is where he found out about and consolidated a relationship with the Butterfly Children’s Charity. Four years on they are still enjoying this partnership. They are #BetterTogether.

Discussions on the subject of safer roads, and options for travelling around the city without having to drive, or drink and drive, have already produced some great incentives since first contemplated.

More awareness and participation to further impulse environmental improvements is going well; something we can all easily support and perhaps above all, optimising opportunities for teens and young adults.

Over six decades 147 nationalities have come to establish their own wonderful communities and somehow, we all flow in harmony around this magical city. We have great weather, great homes, great schools, almost everything we could possibly want, but is it what our children want?

Please don’t get me wrong, it’s a

beautiful place to grow up and to retire, but what about the bit in the middle? This is where my concern has always been, more so than ever now I want my daughter and granddaughter to stay!

I left Marbella to have a family as back in the day we didn’t have the infrastructure we do today. When I first moved here in the early 80’s there was a three-year wait just to get a phone line installed.

Certainly, a thing of the past, but still a work in progress to really afford our youth the same opportunities they would have had elsewhere, unless we want them to all go elsewhere.

There is much we can do without having to do much if we pool our resources, so thank you in advance for taking the time to join us on the morning of Tuesday May 14 and share your ideas; your input is priceless. We’ve chosen a beautiful seaview venue which is easy to get to, with easy parking and it’s free entrance; what could be better? www.rtvmarbellanow.com/UN MS2019.

AFTER 17 years living in this country I have to agree with your article (Thank you to the Spanish health system - Issue 1760). Always an excellent service.

Only three weeks ago I rang at 8.45am for a non-urgent check up with our doctor. The receptionist’s reply was ‘9.15?’ Then it was agreed that 10.30am would be perfect.

Always the same doctor, sometimes a few minutes late, but sometimes out before the actual appointed time. Torrevieija hospital is more than first class.

Sue Gell

Lisbon Treaty HI Leapy, sorry to bring Brexit up yet again, but for the life of me I can’t understand why more isn’t shared with the general public about the effect the Lisbon Treaty will have on the future of the UK. Can you give it some publicity in a forthcoming article so that people, whichever side they favour, can make a more informed decision when the time comes (if ever) to vote. Cheers.

John Bingham

Up-to-date JUST to say thanks for keeping us in the UK up-to-date with all the travel problems coming up. We were due to fly to Malaga on April 21 (last Sunday) so we have everything crossed for little disruption. Keep up the great work.

Keith Batt *Editor’s note: Thankfully the nationwide baggage handlers’ strikes were called off in Spain late last Friday night.

Weekly inputs AS a Norwegian of 79 years I frequently visit the Costa. I take every opportunity to read EWN and your column is the first every time. Thank you for your weekly inputs. Keep up the good work!

Euthanasia I WAS so saddened to read the article about a man who helped his wife with multiple sclerosis to die who could go on trial at a gender violence court (Issue 1763). It is such a sensitive and important subject, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

But while debates about euthanasia are being carried out, this case proves we must never forget that there are real people, with real lives who are suffering and have been for a long time.

OUR VIEW A high price to pay

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

Excellent service Nationality unimportant LEAPY LEE, I read with interest your piece (Thank you to the Spanish health system - Issue 1760). I visited a friend today in a Spanish clinic. A Spanish nurse turned up to do routine obs. She didn’t even acknowledge the patient let alone the visitors. Without speaking she checked her temperature, then left.

Last night at 10.15pm, my friend rang her bell and when a nurse came she asked her to help her to make her more HEALTH SYSTEM: An environment of comfortable. She said she would come collective togetherness. back. She did - at 7.30am.

So don’t think for one minute that the Spanish way is superior to that of the UK. Lots of Spanish nurses are severely lacking in social skills. In my experience of nursing in the UK and Spain, the vast majority of my colleagues have been caring people irrespective of nationality.

‘Staff of different colours, creeds, nationalities with a variety of languages, all performing their duties in an aura of separateness.’Actually they operate in an environment of collective togetherness and bring a wealth of expertise to their work. We don’t have mass immigration. But without the immigration we have, the NHS would simply not be able to function.

I don’t know why you have seen inside a lot of London’s hospitals this winter. If it is to have received treatment for yourself, then I sincerely hope in future, you stay away from our overworked NHS and have the treatment in Son Espases.

Yours sincerely, Pat Brudenell

VIOLENCE and abuse against women is not only morally abhorrent, it is also costing the Spanish economy billions.

A new government report has claimed the cost of gender violence is equivalent to €185 for every person in Spain in the worst case.

The estimated overall economic cost ranges between €1.3 billion and €8.5 billion. The latter figure is equivalent to more than one 10th of what Spain budgeted for welfare in 2017.

Those costs do not take into account those incurred by the trauma inflicted on children and relatives who witness gender violence first-hand. The government estimates those are equivalent to billions in economic losses.

Society clearly has incentives to eradicate the scourge of gender violence. If communities and the government could do more to spare women from mistreatment then they would be happier and free of violence-induced trauma.

They would then be able to offer their talents in the workplace alongside the rest of us instead of suffering, often in silence, while their prospects dwindle.

The wealth they create could be spent on helping to eradicate gender violence and offer more support to victims.

Not only this, but it could be used to help reduce poverty, addiction and other factors that create the conditions for gender violence to thrive.

But ultimately, we should never lose sight of the fact that the highest price for gender violence is paid by its victims.

Now we want to hear your views.

Smoking ban on beaches at tourist hotspots No need to ban smoking. Just educate the beachgoers to extinguish their cigarettes in a bin or a beach ashtray. NOT IN THE SAND. Bill Should be food banned first. And plastic bottles. The rubbish thats left on beach is appalling.

Will I am a responsible smoker ... if on the beach then will take ash tray to take my ends home ... and I don’t smoke near other people ... but I don't leave rubbish on the beach as others do ... and don’t smoke in restaurants when people eating.

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE with a reason to justify wrong.

Edgar

Easter processions called off in some Spanish cities due to rain Perhaps they should have prayed for good weather.

PM

Spain’s ruling PSOE says it will outlaw prostitution if it wins this month’s general election This is so naive. It is like saying ‘we must ban kissing.’ You can’t stop something that people will do however much you dislike it. It will just drive it underground and make things a whole lot worse for the women involved. It is ignorant posturing unfortunately. Legalise and regulate it, make it safe. You can’t stop it, no-one ever has - that’s just reality.

Questionable judgements Another case of what is wrong, now is right. UK is a good place for crime as law allows it and turns blind eyes, not a blind eye. There will always be someone who will come up

We are celebrating two decades at the heart of local communities My heartiest congratulations to the Euesdens and all involved in producing this valuable resource for British holidaymakers and expats in Spain. My wife and I have been readers of the EWN for at least 10 of those 20 years, first on holidays here and then more regularly since we moved here permanently. To all of you, as we Scots say, ‘Lang may your lum reek!’ If you’re not sure what that means, try Googling it. (grin) Brian

YOUR STARS

DID YOU KNOW?

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Being at the forefront of a learning experience is pleasurable this week. An unexpected offer seems small but could have a big effect. A friend in need may go over the top and annoy you. It may be necessary to distance yourself and give help through others.

Planning ahead to the weekend means that you have more time and energy to get things done.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Even as you prepare to go on a trip or start something new this week, the future beckons. In small things there are clues to the way forward. A chance encounter brings humour and opens your eyes to a friendship lately neglected.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Emotional and monetary wealth go hand in hand at the beginning of this energetic week. Someone is likely to make demands that you find unacceptable and you will need all your tact to avoid unpleasantness, but any resistance by you will, in the longer term, only gain you respect.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You may feel a bit like Sherlock Holmes when you solve a tricky dilemma. With your intellect soaring, it is little surprise that others come to you with their problems. A natural agony aunt because of your interest in others, this suits you well enough.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone with a romantic interest in you starts buzzing around. This is all very well if you are willing, but if not keep your distance. As thoughts turn to summer, it is not surprising that a holiday is on your mind.

There is, however, a question mark over with whom you want to go.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Small matters start to clog up the emotional works. You would rather be somewhere else, but grit your teeth and deal with necessary matters. Finances certainly must be watched most carefully. Get your glad rags on at the weekend and really let your hair down. Of course, there are more serious matters to be considered but not all the time.

INDIA is expected to become the world’s most populated country by 2050.

Experts believe the country’s population will expand to 1.6 billion people, making it almost the same as the total of the United States of America’s and China’s popula tions combined.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Mutual plans are exciting but make sure that others know your needs exactly.

As a Leo, you will never willingly accept second best but how can others know your standards? Your needs and desires are close to your heart but are sometimes held so close that others cannot see and respond to them.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Putting your thoughts and feelings on a par with someone else will help you to understand their point of view. As painful as it seems, there will need to be some compromise if everyone is to be happy. Are you feeling the need for some activity and excitement?

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Sometimes, you retreat into your shell and your normally gregarious personality takes a back seat. Although you may not have received the expected response to a question recently, it is no reason to brood. Show yourself in your true colours this week. Be gentle, brave and caring.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The way to bring energy levels up this week is to spend time with energetic people. You may feel a little on the fringes initially but, at the end of the day, your spirit will be lifted. Fresh air and group activities bring the most satisfaction, although a one-toone task proves particularly fruitful.

However, this love is not truly lost because it will always be a part of who you are.

When a famous author, Rupert Pearson, plans the launch of his latest book at the Freemason’s Arms pub he is annoyed when his PA fails to turn up at his side.

Little does he know his assistant will later be discovered dead and face-down in a ditch.

As detective Kempston Hardwick, dead PAs are not out of the ordinary, but his interests are piqued when he finds this unassuming woman had managed to make many enemies and that local police seem determined to pin the crime on an innocent man.

The Wrong Man is the latest novel by author Adam Croft, who has sold more than one million books to date, and is one of the best-selling crime and thriller authors in the world.

Plantar fasciitis SUPPORT: Good footwear is essential for easing discomfort.

www.thebodyworksclinic.com WHAT is Plantar fasciitis?

Plantar - Base of the foot Fascia - Stretchy, strong connective tissue that helps stabilise your muscles throughout the body.

Itis - Inflammation.

So combine them and we get: Plantar fasciitis - Inflammation of the connective tissue which runs from the heel to the base of your toes How does it feel?

It often starts as a dull, intermittent pain in the heel or arch of the foot which becomes a sharp, persistent and often piercing pain spreading throughout the foot.

This pain is often worst first thing in the morning or after resting. Pain can often ease with the first few steps of the day and then increase as the day goes on.

If left untreated, the pain can spread to include your Achilles tendon (which is connected to the Plantar fascia) and begin to affect your knees or become Heel Spur Syndrome.

What causes Plantar fasciitis?

Flat feet or high arch, plantar

fasciitis doesn’t discriminate!

When the toes go one way and the heel in the other with the arch collapsing or straining you twist the plantar fascia underneath.

This causes the fascia to become inflamed and painful, stiff and generally unhappy.

What can I do?

Wear the right shoes Good arch support is key and heel support helps too. Flat, plastic flip flops are the worst so you might be in more pain over the summer Add support If you can’t find good shoes which

For more information about treating and preventing Plantar fasciitis please check out our website: www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, our Facebook page ‘Bodyworks Health Clinic’ or call us on 952 883 151.

you like, a simple orthotic/insole will help too. Again, make sure that it has a good arch support and a proper heel cushion (hint - you won’t find one with enough support in Mercadona!)

Stretch and massage Stretching the calf will help to stretch the plantar fascia and massaging the base of the foot will help you feel more comfortable - check out our blog for a detailed stretch and massage routine.

Ice A lovely option in summer! Half fill a small water bottle, put it in the freezer and roll the icy bottle under your foot - an icy stretch for a double win.

Treating plantar fasciitis is a twopronged approach - first you have to bring down the inflammation to stop the pain and then help the foot to stop twisting it so that it doesn’t come back.

With the right shoes and a regular stretch and massage routine you should be able to resolve the problem.

However if the pain doesn’t ease within two weeks, get in touch with a professional!

Time to reset Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach HAVE you over indulged this Easter?

Was the temptation of chocolate eggs too much to resist? Don’t panic!

Easter, Christmas and birthdays are traditionally the times when we are most likely to fall off the wagon. But rather than beat yourself up about it and slip back into the bad old days, keep a clear head, focus and get back on track!

The most successful clients I work with are not those who stick to the programme 100 per cent, but those who wander off track and are mentally strong enough to pull it back every time and refocus.

If you can face it, this week is a perfect time to do a 24-hour fast as we have covered previously. Mentally and physically this is a great ‘reset’ button.

If that’s not floating your boat then

DON’T FEAR: Detox time is here! just take stock and start planning your meals for this week. Plenty of fruit and vegetables to start that healthy detox, plenty of water and of course healthy proteins such as lean meat and fish.

Try and do some batch cooking to eliminate the risk of ad-hoc meals which will never be the best choices.

After a couple of days, any memo-

ries of chocolate will be wiped out in no time! Don’t fear, on Monday it is International No Diet day!! Enjoy!

The natural approach

by Sally Underwood NATURAL, clean, and organic beauty products have become a hot trend in recent years, with an emphasis shifting from those which simply make skin look good, to those which promise to improve skin health.

Among these products are a growing number which harness the power of nature, while combining it with the latest in technological advances.

Nature-led luxury brand Espa’s new Tri-Active Advanced ProBiome line (starting from £60/€69.40 for a set of three, www.espaskincare.com) uses advances in understanding of probiotics to support skin’s natural flora and fauna. The result is a line of serums, moisturisers, and eye creams promising to support and protect skin while increasing hydration by up to 43 per cent, elasticity by up to 10 per cent and firmness by up to 14 per cent.

For the body, new creation

NATURE INSPIRED: New products increasingly rely on nature for inspiration.

Rowse - co-founded by Spanish model and photographer Nuria Val - uses the power of plants to offer intense hydration. Rowse’s Winter Body Oil (€36 for 100ml, www.rowse.co) takes extracts from the hardiest plants from around the world to provide an all-natural, vegan, and preservative-free body product to help support skin’s natural functions.

Budget brands have even got in on the trend, with vegan skincare brand Bybi creating a line of natural products, including a 100 per cent Cold

Pressed Strawberry Seed Oil (£12/€13.88 for 15ml, www.bybi.com).

At the other end of the spectrum is ultra-luxury brand Kypris, named after the Cypriot fertility goddess said to have inspired Aphrodite’s femininity and connection with nature.

Using wild-crafted, organic, and sustainably-grown ingredients, Kypris’s products (starting from £74/€85.60 from www.net-a-porter.com) address specific skincare issues, and includes sun protection, soothing and detoxifying masks, and serums, all in sustainable glass packaging.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks us a different kind of Brunch!

Hell of a Party!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com

A FEW y e a r s a g o I met a ma n called Sa l v a d o r ( t h e o w n e r o f restaurant El Torreon in La Cala and El Capricho in Calahonda) both restaurants are on the beach with sea views.

“Hell of a party!” he said (It’s his saying and he says it to everyone wh e n h e m e e ts th e m) “Where?” I said.

“Would you like to be involved with El Torreon on the beach?” he asked.

Well yes but no because our Little Geranium doesn’t have a beach view and if I do my food/art with a view, t h e n su r e l y I w ill lo s e business I thought. But then after discus si o n s we d e c i d e d to d o

something that we don’t do at The Little Geranium… Brunch!

B ru n ch is d e fine d a s ‘a la te mo rn in g me a l t ha t c ombine s breakfast and lunch.’

If you have breakfast you are more than likely to want lunch but g e t u p a little l a te r a nd ha ve Brunch, then you can have two in one. It makes a lot of sense and saves money!

Brunch originated in the late 19th century as a cure for a hangover on a Sunday morning and the tren d to o k o ff into the U nite d States in the 1930’s.

So I created a brunch menu for El Torreon and on it some great breakfast dishes, but also something a bit different.

My wife Michele loves healthy eating so I put on a healthy dish of crushed locally grown avocados on toasted German rye bread and a paella made with mushrooms and truffles.

Paella originated in Valencia with the Moors influence and was

originally intended as a peasant food of ric e w ith bits of me a t, game and inexpensive fish.

So a pa e lla ma de from w ild mushrooms and truffles doesn’t really fit, “but this is 2019” I said, “anything can and should fit.”

Salvador looked at me over his glasses in a disapproving Spanish heritage way and said “it’s not a paella!”

Personally I don’t think that it matters what we call it as long as the dis h is a ma z ing a nd it is !

Most meat eaters and veggies love wild mushrooms, throw in a little fresh truffle, some parmesan and some truffle oil and you have the most divine flavours, bake it in the oven like you would a paella and you certainly have something a bit different!

Salvador tried it and agreed that it w a s fa nta s tic but a s ke d if I could serve it on the main menu as he doesn’t see it as a brunch dish.

I don’t mind where you serve it I s a id a nd s o Sa lva dor c a lle d it

Risotto Steven Saunders style!

“No one knows what the hell that is” I said laughing out loud “but that may add to the uniqueness and mystery of this amazing dish.”

So if you are visiting El Torreon this summer ask for Steven Saunders’ risotto and if you want it as a brunch dish, just ask them. It takes

INGREDIENTS serve 2 to 4 3 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1 red onion finely chopped 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp truffle oil for finish A squeeze of lemon juice 500ml ve ge ta ble s toc k (or mushroom stock made from dried wild mushrooms) 200g paella rice 2 glasses of dry white wine 250g mixed wild mushrooms or setas cleaned 1 small jar of truffle pieces (approx.

pone c heese t o f i ni sh ( or t hi ck cream) Fresh parsley leaves chopped for finish Method Heat the oven to 200°C and heat your paella pan.

Bring the stock to a simmer in a pan. Heat another thick bottomed saucepan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the rice stirring well for a minute.

Pour in the wine and let it reduce down until the pan is quite dry. Gradually add the stock stirring frequently and the garlic and the chopped onion. Let the rice absorb some of the stock in the pan Fry the mushrooms in a frying pan, toss over a high heat for three to four m i nut es unt i l t hey ar e golden brown and any moisture

Add the mushrooms to the risotto, along with the truffle pieces and a little more of the boiling st ock. St i r i n t wo t hi r ds of t he Parmesan and add the mascarpone cheese and adjust the seasoning.

The mix should be wet but not like liquid.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can

we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

Visit our website www.sos-an imals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

Sexy dragon from BYD

CHINESE BEAST: BYD’s concept took inspiration from dragons.

CHINESE automaker BYD has debuted its all-electric E-Seed GT concept car at the Shanghai Motor Show - and dare it be said about a car from that nation, it looks pretty sexy.

While the Chinese motor industry has been making giant strides, it has not up until now been famed for the aesthetic beauty of its products.

BYD decided to change that by bringing together the expertise of three international design experts, Wolfgang Egger, BYD Global Design Director, Juan Ma Lopez, BYD Global Exterior Design Director and Michele Jauch-Paganetti, BYD Global Interior Design Director.

They have taken inspiration from the company’s home country’s traditions to use

what they call ‘Dragon Face’ design language.

In this they attempted to apply the elements of a Chinese dragon into a super car design, such as headlights resembling ‘dragon whiskers,’ a ‘dragon ridge’ on its roof, tail and seats and ‘dragon-scale’ features on its door panels.

It also boasts a three-screen interconnection, a retractable steering wheel plus a ‘BYD heart’ and other technologies.

BYD adheres to its ‘technology based, innovation oriented’ concept. With its solid R&D strength and innovative development model, it has achieved comprehensive development, playing a decisive role in many fields such as automobiles, rail transit, electronics and the renewable energy-related business (solar and energy storage).

In the automobile sector, BYD has ranked first in global EV sales for four consecutive years (2015-2018), and its new energy vehicle footprint can be found in more than 300 cities in over 50 countries and regions around the world.

WINNER: Jordi Alba scored for Barcelona.

Sevilla had started the match one point ahead of the Madrid side, but two disputed handball penalty decisions by referee Mateu Lahoz undid them. The second decision also saw Sevilla defender Sergio Escudero given a second yellow card, though the ball clearly rebounded onto his arm off his head.

The first penalty was put away by Jaime Mata and Jorge Molina sank the second as well as scoring the final goal early in the second half.

HAT TRICK: Karim Benzema benefitted from goal keeping howlers.

Valencia kept up their good run of form and climbed into fifth spot with a 2-1 win away to Real Betis. Winger Goncalo Guedes scored both goals, with Giovani Lo Celso’s 78th minute penalty giving Betis late hope.

At the bottom of the table Iago Aspas scored the first goal as Celta Vigo inched towards safety with a 2-1 win at home to Girona.

Girona equalised through Portu after 48 minutes but Sofiane Boufal’s restored the lead in the 69th minute.

The result saw them pull away from third-from-bottom Valladolid, who

drew 2-2 away to Alaves on Friday night.

Goals from Carlos Bacca and Karl Toto Ekambi gave Villareal a 2-1 win at home to Leganes, easing their relegation fears.

Levante came back from behind twice at home to Espanyol to claim what could be a valuable point, despite having Ruben Rochina red carded with 15 minutes still on the clock.

A 0-0 draw between the two bottom clubs Rayo Vallecano drew and Huesca left both teams closer to relegation.

mane Dembele had not obstructed the view of visiting keeper Geronimo Rulli. Real Sociedad pressed for an equaliser in the closing minutes, but Barca held on for the win.

Thomas Lemar scored a late winner as Atletico Madrid kept their hold on second place away to Eibar but are a distant nine points behind Barca.

Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid overwhelmed Athletic Bilbao 3-0. Two mistakes from keeper Iago Herrerin helped the Frenchman.

Zinedine Zidane gave defender Jesus Vallejo his first chance in the side since replacing Santiago Solari as coach of Real and the youngster grabbed it with both hands with a calm performance.

Sevilla suffered a blow in their bid to claim a top four place when they lost 3-0 away to high flyers Getafe.

BARCELONA are on the verge of claiming the La Liga title, with their next game against Levante quite likely to be the match they wrap it up.

They beat Real Sociedad 2-1 in the 33rd round of games this weekend without never really getting out of second gear.

They certainly never reached the performance levels they did in last week’s Champions League triumph against Manchester United, though credit should go to Real Sociedad for putting up a spirited fight.

They defended well in the first half, holding Barcelona at bay until the 44th minute when central defender Clement Lenglet got a head to the ball to put Barca into the lead.

Real Sociedad didn’t let their heads drop and equalised in the 62nd minute when Juanmi netted the ball following a slide-rule pass from Mikel Merino.

It didn’t take long for Barca to retake the lead though. Jordi Alba shot home almost immediately, although the VAR was used to make sure Ous-

Barca on verge of title

CELEBRATIONS: Federation Cup promotion sparked scenes of joy.

Spain in World Group SPAIN have won back their place in the World Group of the Federation Cup after a two-year absence.

Things were not looking good for the Spanish team when they found themselves 2-1 behind against Belgium on Sunday. But Carla Suárez Navarro stepped forward to turn the tie around.

The 30-year-old did what she had to do to force a fifth rubber and beat Yanina Wickmayer in straight sets. Carla then teamed up with Garbiñe Muguruza to win the deciding match, 76(4), 2-6, 6-2, and send Spain back to the World Group.

The tie had been level at 1-1 before Sunday’s play. Ysaline Bonaventure, who was subbed in

for Alison van Uytvanck, surprised Muguruza in their singles match. After coming back from losing the first set 6-4 it looked like Muguruza was back on course after taking the second 0-6.

But Bonaventure dug in to take the deciding set 6-4.

“It was one of the best matches of my career,” Bonaventure told reporters after the match.

“So it was such a great feeling to play in front of the whole crowd. To get the support from my family and also the fans in Belgium. Fed Cup is something special. You don’t only play for yourself - you play for yourself and the team.”

Unfortunately for her it was all to be for nothing as Spain stormed back to win the tie.

THE Spanish sailing team is starting to look good for m e d a l l i n g i n n e x t y e a r ’s Tokyo Olympics after a series of excellent results at t h e Wo r l d C u p i n G e n o a (Italy), which also served as an Olympic qualifier.

Iker Martínez and Olga Maslivets took gold in the Nacra 17 class on Saturday, then on Sunday Alex Muscat (silver) and Joan Cardona (bronze) made the podium in the Finn class.

In addition, six other crews have been classified among the top 10 in six of the eight classes in the competition.

In the 470 women's race, the Spanish duo of Silvia Mas from Barcelona and Patricia Cantero from the Canary Islands, world runners-up in Aarhus 2018, finished second in the Medal Race, giving them fourth place in the overall final.

GOLD: Iker Martínez and Olga Maslivets won the Nacra 17 class.

Boniface (GBR) held a seven-point lead heading into the Medal Race so the advantage was theirs.

The British team had a tough start and found themselves sandwiched in the pack. Meanwhile the Spaniards, New Zealand’s Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders and Argentina’s Santiago Lange and Cecilia Carranza Saroli pushed ahead.

Jones and Saunders led at the mid-point but the Spaniards attacked and grabbed the lead. The Argentinians then went on the a t t a c k a n d p i c k e d o ff t h e Spaniards on the final downwind.

Lange and Saroli claimed the race win which propelled them into the

bronze medal position. The Spaniards finished second and when Saxton and Boniface followed in sixth, gold was officially theirs by a single point.

“For us it was important to get a medal today,” said M a r t i n e z . “ We o n l y n o ticed where the British were on the second upw i n d . We h a d n ’t n o t i c e d them as we were too busy so we fought hard to pass the ones in front. “ We ’ v e b e e n w o r k i n g very hard. We have a new boat and we struggled in P a l m a . We w e r e n o t f a s t e n o u g h a n d w e w e r e n ’t good enough. This week was a very light week so we know that we can perform in the light but that doesn’t mean we will perform in the medium or strong winds. “ We ’ r e s t i l l f a r a w a y from other guys we’ve beaten this week, Ben for example. The Italians and New Zealand were also very strong this week.

We ’ r e a l o n g w a y a w a y from them.”
